NOOOOOOOO!!!!

My macbook pro arived today (yesterday, it's night) in the netherlands to merge, and it didn't ship with tnt or UPS. instead my est. delivery date changed to 25-26 June, WTF this is crazy, going to call apple again as soon as they open.

25-26 June for in-country delivery it's nuts. Are they smoking or what? Well, it' the Netherlands so they may be smoking something but still... damn it that would drive me nuts. Meanwhile mine hasn't shipped yet. :mad:
 
Here's a question. What time of day (please specify time zone) did the apple status page change from "not yet shipped" to something like "prepared for shipment" or "shipped"? Thanks.
 
Status Change

Here's a question. What time of day (please specify time zone) did the apple status page change from "not yet shipped" to something like "prepared for shipment" or "shipped"? Thanks.

My order has changed to "prepared for shipment" about 30 minutes ago. Hopefully it will ship soon!
 
does anyone know how long it takes for the status to change from "prepared for shipment" to FedEX picking up the packages and until we actually get tracking numbers?
 
Ah, nice. Looks like i'm still behind you two. i'm still at "not yet shipped."

I'll tell you my theory. All our laptops will be shipping from Shangai or Shenzen in China. They will all ship on the 15th of June China time. It's currently 7:37 AM there (because it's 7:37 PM EST), therefore we'll get our laptops shipped when anytime between 9 AM - 3 PM there, which is 9PM - 3 AM EST (my time). They may not all ship at the same time, but they will definitely ship later tonight (our time).

That is very optimistic!! i think you are probably right about yours...however i'm a bit more pessimistic about my own shipment because 1) my order status hasn't changed and 2) my "ships by" date was later than yours to begin with

Let's hope for the best. You may be right but hopefully you'll get it shipped later tonight as well.

Man you must have mine. LOL :) I'm in Ontario, I wish mine had the same path.
 
Arnhem? A Bridge Too Far! You haven't got your Macbook because
Maximillian Schell has blocked the bridge with his Panzers and
Anthony Hopkins can't get across with his Brits!!!
 
I'm on the phone with the FedEX manager and it IS Ontario, California that it is at right now. I'm trying to get the shipping changed to standard overnight, but apparently only Apple can tell them to change the order because Apple pays them. Apple says they can't tell FedEX to change the order because the transaction has been completed, my credit card charged with my shipping method. So no one can do anything, apparently..
 
Ah haha. Of course i jump to think it's a california location.

You were right, I jumped to conclusion. His laptop is actually shipping from the city of Ontario in California. I didn't know they had an hub there so I assumed it was Canada.

That sucks but at least it's shipping from the US and it can't take too long to reach you. :)
 
Another Shipping Question

For those whose computers are shipping over seas--what is your shipping type (as described by apple on apple's status page)

For those whose computers are shipping from California or other US locations--what is your shipping type (as described by apple on apple's status page)

i'm checking to see if there is a correllation between the NAME of the shipping type and where it's coming from. Like, if it's coming from China, does it say "international" or something like that.
 
Just thought I would let everyone know that my MBP shipped today from Shanghai (around 3PM).

Order Date: Jun 11, 2007 at 07:36 AM PDT
Shipped on: Jun 14, 2007 via FEDERAL EXPRESS

Still no updates on the Fedex tracking page. It says "left origin."

It looks like FedEx delivers on Saturday, but do they deliver on Sunday also?

EDIT: I also selected the 2-day option on the order page, and $18.00 was put on my order status. However, it was removed from the final invoice automatically and I was not billed for it.
